Let It Snow

Hello 

Jodie with you today sharing my project for December.

Wow I can't believe it's already the end of the year.

This is my Let it Snow page, that I have put into a frame to create a beautiful Christmas gift using 

Scrapmatts chipboard to embellish.

         

For this project I have used the stunning papers 'Let it Snow' & the collectables from Kaisercraft.

They are foiled and in the gorgeous mint green.

Good morning Rikki here, how are you ? Its getting to the crazy time of the year but I am happy to get a little bit of scrapping time in here and now, and to make it super easy when its time poor all that fussy cutting  I do and bag for later on has finally paid off because I get to use it for occasions like this!!! And just add some essential Scrapmatts Chipboard and your ready to go.

The next layout even though it looks kind of complex.... its all about using the left overs and bits and pieces of chipboard that you tend to collect.... then its all about piecing it together and painting it all black. Then to add colour with the Finnabar Waxes that you would have seen demoed throughout the year through various shows.

Hi all

This month I have done this seaside inspired layout using the ships wheel tray from #scrapmatts
I have also used the Scrapmatts Bubble stencil
I have matched it up with the Seaside papers from 49 and Market

What are you most proud of ?

At this particular time in the historical Australian landscape, with unprecedented fires and record breaking droughts I find myself feeling extremely patriotic. 

I watch the unbreakable Aussie spirit raise itself up time and time again, I see people lending each other a hand in record numbers, donations to charities sky rocketing and stories of bravery and kindness abounding.

... And I feel PROUD! 

Proud to be a part of this beautiful country, proud to be a part of this amazing community and proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with my fellow Aussies as we face these difficult times together. So when it came to making Christmas cards this year I knew I was going to go Aussie themed all the way! 

And now I find these patriotic feeling are spilling over into my scrapbooking as well lol. I have had Aussie themed chipboards in my stash for ages, and it has been a pure delight to dig them out and use them lately. 

I hope all our Aussie readers out there are feeling some of this sense pride as well... may you know you are supported, admired and backed all the way. We are so blessed to be part of this amazing country made up of some of the toughest men and women on earth! We should never forget this and always celebrate it 💚

Adventure Starts Here

Here I've used the A6 diamond template and a white gel pen to easily get so patterns into my dark background.

White ink or Gesso would work just as well.

A few of these fabulous sentiment words 

go a long way!

Aussie Christmas Cards...

I sent these cards all over the world this year to family in both Europe and the US 💚

CB5124 Hexagon Mesh 03

I know these are a hexagon shape ( more reminiscent of honey bees) but I grew up with chicken wire that looked a whole it lot like this so they feel very Aussie back ground-ish to me! lol 😆
